Klein: One Year Uptime Memorial

This page is a memorial to my trusty GNU/Linux firewall box, in honor
of its first year of continuous uptime.

Digital Equipment Corporation

Year:

1995

CPU:

166 MHz Alpha LCA4 (64-bit)

1.2GB internal IDE hard disk

1991 DEC VT420 serial terminal

OS:

Debian GNU/Linux

Mission:

packet-forwarding Internet gateway and firewall

Update:

Only nine days after reaching the one-year mark for continuous uptime,
a severe thunderstorm caused klein to reboot. The final syslog marker
to reach stable storage before the reboot was marked 26 August
16:16:34. Klein's confirmed span of continuous uptime was therefore
374 days 2 hours and 23 minutes in length -- not the longest I've
heard for similar hardware, but certainly a record in my household.

Klein came back up shortly thereafter -- the beginning of a new
record?
